Grilled corn with herb butter

Summer gardens bring lots of corn on the cob! Boiling it gets a little old after a while, so here is a fun way to change it up a bit. Grilled corn on the cob with an herb butter. I tried two different herb butters, both were very good.

After making the corn, I had some leftover herb butter. I melted it in a frying pan and sauteed some summer squash in it.



Grilled corn with herb butter

Ingredients:
Corn on the cob
Herb butter (See recipes below)

Peel husks down far enough to remove the corn silks. Soak in water for 15 minutes. This keeps the husks from catching on fire while they are grilling. Once they have soaked rub the butter all over the cob and pull the husks back up. Grill on Medium heat for 10 or so minutes, checking to make sure they aren't burning.

Butter, room temperature (Amount will depend on how many ears of corn you are making. I have been making about 5 or 6 small ears and using about 1/2 stick or less.
Fresh Herbs:

Flat leaf Italian parsley

Lime Thyme
Salt and Pepper

(Would be really good with some fresh garlic in it as well!)

Combine all ingredients in a bowl, mix well.
